We would like to thank public offices for their cooperation and participation in this year’s Recordkeeping Monitoring Exercise.
State Records NSW has advised public offices that we will not conduct a Recordkeeping Monitoring Exercise in 2025. This approach is being taken to ensure that public offices have sufficient time to make any changes required as a result of the current review of standards and the Code of Best Practice, which provide the basis for the RMAT questions. State Records NSW will advise public offices in 2025 of the approach to be taken in future Recordkeeping Monitoring Exercises.
If you have any accessibility feedback or concerns related to this resource, please contact us.
